Losing

Sometimes when you remember those who have died it makes you sad. Sometimes it makes you happy. Sometimes it does all that and more. When things change, you have to deal with a loss. It doesn't matter whether or not that loss is a good thing or a bad thing. It does not matter that many people do not look at it this way. Whenever something changes, you lose something. It is really simple. Sometimes you lose something you wanted to keep. Sometimes you lose something you never wanted- often it is a little bit of both. Either way, though, every change involves a loss- whether that change is death, or a break-up, or a break-down, or a new job, etc... change involves loss.
The world lost Jessica. We don't get to have her back. I hate that sometimes, I really do.
